As Hooked pointed out on his Matchups thread, we’re faced with a lot of games in the next round where the chances for upsets seem pretty limited. And since I almost never do Big Sky games, that shortens the list even more for an Upset Guesses poll.
So I said to myself: “Self, what can we kick around while we wait?” Answer: “Who can beat the spread?” So here goes. Of course, it’s difficult to find betting data on FCS games, but I found at least one … at the DraftKings Sportsbook. Right now, that link is:

You are allowed one pick, but you can change your mind (and votes). We’re likely to see more reasons to do that, since the spreads tend to move as money flows in for one or the other team. I know of no way to change the “meat” of the poll without screwing up the votes, so we’ll have to stick with the spreads posted this (Tuesday) afternoon. Favorite is on the right and their points “advantage” is shown in [brackets].
